Flight diverted to Glasgow after two failed attempts to land at Manchester Airport amid Storm Darragh

A passenger flight from Poland had to divert to Glasgow after the captain made two failed attempts to land at Manchester Airport as Storm Darragh battered the UK.

Ryanair flight FR4095, operated by Buzz, departed Gdansk in Poland just before 2pm central European time, just as the storm started to gather pace here in Britain.

By the time the flight was making it's final approach at Manchester Airport at around 3.30pm UK time, the weather was particularly bad. The captain made one attempt to land and, after making another approach also, aborted the second approach, according to radar pictures on AirNet.radar.

The flight was diverted to Glasgow Prestwick where it landed safely at 4.20pm. Although some services have performed 'go-arounds' after aborting their first attempt at a landing, all except the flight from Gdansk landed safely on the second time of trying, it is understood.

Numerous flights into and out of Manchester Airport have been affected as a result of Storm Darragh.

A rare Met Office red warning for wind was issued for parts of Wales and the south west which came into force in the early hours. It meant dangerous weather is expected and people are urged to take action to keep themselves and others safe.

Ryanair has been approached for a comment.

Here is a list of affected the incoming and outgoing flights:
